Betty and Jason are friend. On 20th October ,when they are having lunch together, Betty told Jason that I want to buy a computer. Jason said that he have an extra computer and may sell to Betty in around $6000HKD. Betty said she need time to think .
Later,on the same day , Jason used email to tell Betty that " we should make like a formal business deal since a large of money is involved . I may sell the computer to you at $6000 HKD. What do you think？"
On 21st October , Betty replied Jason by email , telling that " I will buy the computer from you at $6000HKD. I will transfer the money to you next week."
On 22nd October Jason text Betty by sending email that " I think the computer should be sold in$8000HKD. I advertised it for sale on " bidding .com" website and someone want to buy at $10000HKD. Let me know if you want it by 25th October ,ok？＂
Betty did read Jason's email on 22nd October .Betty liked Jason' computer so much and she thought $8000HKD is a reasonable price . She planned to reply to Jason ,but forget to do so.
On 26th October , Betty email Jason by email that "sorry for late reply , I transfer $8000HKD to you now ". But ,Jason sold the computer to another person after he saw the email. Betty did not transfer the money however she planned to sue Jason and asked the court to force Jason to sell the computer to her.
Advise Betty on her legal position.
